Gluten-Free Chicken and Mushroom Meatloaf

Some days, I’m craving comfort food. Meatloaf is one of the comfort foods I thought I’d have to give up forever once I started on the psoriasis diet, which is laid out in Dr. John’s Healing Psoriasis Cookbook. But this gluten-free recipe for chicken mushroom loaf adapted from the cookbook is nightshade-free, has no red meat, and is absolutely delicious.

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, then add onions and garlic and saute for about 3 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and thyme and cook until the mushrooms are tender. Make sure you stir often. Let the mushroom mixture cool in a large bowl.

Once the mushroom mixture is cool enough to touch, add everything except the bay leaves and mix until thoroughly blended. You will probably have to use your hands.

Pack the mixture into a meatloaf pan, then place the bay leaves on top.
